Recipe: Guava Turnovers (Pastelillos de Guayaba) - Oh!!!! what a surprise, they do have Carla Sweets in California.

Carla Sweets is a local industry that began in the home of a young girl-baker. I love all her sweets. You are referring to PASTELILLOS DE GUAYABA. Here is the recipe:

Guava Turnovers (Pastelillos de Guayaba)

all-purpose flour for dusting
1 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed and cut into 4-inch squares
ground cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
1 cup canned guava preserves (not guava paste)
1 egg, beaten
butter to grease cookie sheet
parchment paper

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Dust your working surface with flour.

Roll out the puff pastry to make a rectangle measuring 8 x 16 inches. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on the dough. Put 1-1/2 tablespoons guava preserves in each piece of puff pastry. Brush the edges with beaten egg. Fold over to form a triangle.

Grease a cookie sheet and line with parchment paper. Place the pastries 2 inches apart. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until light golden brown. Cool before serving.
